Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

City Line Foods Manufacturing Co. has expanded its recall to include over 1.2 million pounds of frozen pretzel hot dog products sold under brands including Auntie Anne’s, Kunzler, Nathan’s Famous, and Berks. These products, produced between November 14, 2013, and November 14, 2014, were sold nationwide through retail stores and fundraising programs. The recall is due to the presence of undeclared soy lecithin, an allergen that was used as a releasing agent during production but not listed on the product labels.

Risk

The products contain soy lecithin, a known allergen that is not declared on the package label. Consumers who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to soy run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your freezer for any of the listed pretzel dog products, including brands like Auntie Anne's, Kunzler, Nathan’s Famous, Berks, West Creek, or City Line Foods.
  2. Verify the product by looking for establishment number 'EST. or P-34073' or '34073' inside the USDA mark of inspection on the packaging.
  3. If you have an allergy to soy, do not consume these products; anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
  4. Contact Heather Neary, Auntie Anne’s Inc.’s Chief Marketing Officer, at 1-717-435-1558 for specific questions regarding the recall.
  5. Contact the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854 for additional food safety questions.
